Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For the dressing
1 litre good-quality mayonnaise
10 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
25-30 anchovy fillets, drained and chopped
The juice of two lemons
To serve
About 100ml olive oil, mixed with 100ml vegetable oil
6 garlic cloves, halved
10 x 1-2cm thick slices of white bread, crust removed and cut into rough 1-2cm cubes
Salt and pepper
100-120g freshly grated Parmesan
4-5 large, firm, crisp cos or romaine lettuces, washed and dried
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing; dilute with a little water to make it a thick pouring consistency. To make the croutons: heat the oils with the halved garlic cloves. Fry the bread cubes until they are golden, then drain them on kitchen paper. Season, and sprinkle with a little of the Parmesan while they are still warm. Tear the lettuce into pieces and put in a bowl. Toss it with the dressing and the rest of the Parmesan. Scatter croutons on top and serve immediately.
